Read what past recipients of the DNS Professional Development Scholarship have to say about their experiences….
“Travel funds for continuing education are very limited at my institution. I’m extremely grateful to DNS for offering the Professional Development Scholarship because the award gave me the opportunity to attend a national nutrition conference. As a result, I’ve been able to expand my own skill set and become a stronger clinician.”

“Being the only dietitian in a large outpatient facility, I have little opportunity to interface with other healthcare professionals about nutrition support issues. The program that I was able to attend as a result of receiving the DNS Professional Development Scholarship helped me to achieve my professional goals of improving the nutritional care of patients and establishing myself as a nutrition expert with the healthcare professionals in the facility.”
